How does the National Retail Federation come up with their list of popular Halloween Costumes a month before Halloween takes place? They take into consideration what is popular at the movies, on TV, in Music and world news and they always throw in a few of the perennial favorites that have been around for years - Princesses, Vampires, Witches, Fairies and Disney Characters.
Older kids and teen costumes tend to be scary Halloween costumes.
Anything from cutesy stuff all the way to the bloodsuckers and zombies.
The popular costumes usually feature black or darkness and range from vampires and witches to fallen angels and demons.
Skulls are also common among Gothic fashion.
Most parents choose sweet costumes for their babies.
Disney Characters and Animals are at the top of the list.
As young children begin to decide on their own costumes, they are influenced by TV, Movies and Cartoon Characters.
Princesses, Fairies, Spider Man, Witch, Star Wars, Pumpkin, Ghost and Power Ranger are the most popular costume choices.
Adult costume choices are sometimes influenced by whether or not they need to be a couples costume or not.
The choices are more limited if you choose to go in couples costumes.
Being creative can help you pair up 2 seemingly unrelated costumes.
Online costumes shops have some great choices if you need to go as couples - Bowling Ball and Pin, Matador and Bull; Plug and Socket, Vampire and Vampira.
If you decide to make your own costumes, you will need to be creative.
Homemade costumes don't need to involve a lot of sewing.
Checkout old clothes you may have or visit a second hand store.
You can find accessories to use around the house.
Get the child involved and the project will be more fun.
If your children are going out in the neighborhood for trick-or-treating be sure that they are safe.
Attach some reflective material to their costume and give them a loot bag that is reflective as well.
If they are wearing a mask, ensure they can see properly with it on.
As well, reinforce with them to wait until they return home before they eat their candy.
Dressing up our pet dog or cat is something fun that we like to do.
Whether your pet goes with you as you trick or treat or it stays at home to greet the trick-or-treaters, they should be allowed to participate in the festivities.
Halloween is meant to be a fun day for everyone.
